consequences of Domestic Violence Charges

Facing a domestic abuse arrest is a serious matter, with life-altering consequences that require a focused and effective defense. A conviction can result in far-reaching penalties, including:

  • Loss of Residence: You may be legally prohibited from returning to your home, leaving you in need of alternative living arrangements.
  • Court-Ordered No-Contact: A no-contact order with the complainant, strictly enforced by the court, could extend to include a ban on third-party communication. Violating this could lead to additional criminal charges.
  • Custody and Visitation Challenges: If you’re going through a divorce, domestic violence charges can complicate or restrict child custody and visitation rights.
  • Risk to Immigration Status: For non-citizens, a domestic violence conviction can endanger immigration status, possibly leading to deportation or affecting the possibility of naturalization.
  • Loss of Civil Rights: Certain convictions can result in the forfeiture of basic rights, such as the right to vote and the right to own firearms, possess ammunition, or engage in recreational activities like hunting.
